fact that it is found growing wild in
great abundance in many places is suffi-
cient evidence that it is naturally adapted
to this climate

Clerks to be Discharged Because Forget

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Nothing author
itative can be learned about the recent
examination for promotion in the quar-
termaster generals Office, under the new
civil service rules, but there is we'll
founded report ahoat, which receives Gre
dence in department circles, that out Of
thirty eight clerks examined but
ten passed examinations success
fully. 1t is said correct answers
to many of the Questions asked would in
no way show the efficiency of the clerks,
and that these very questions, which
would be easy enough for a young man
or woman fresh from school, we're the
greatest stumbling blocks to the oldest
clerks who had been promoted for
efficiency The clerks begin to feel there
is no doubt that examine
tions will afford ample OPP
porunity for discharge of all employees,
whose services are to be dispensed with
at the end of the fiscal year,in accordance
with the law. Indeed, it Is said that the
civil service commission will soon be call
ed upon to designate scholarly, but mex
perienced, persons to fill the places OF
tried and efficient clerks, who are somewhat
rusty in arithmetic and geography.

Rev. B. f. Dixon, of Lockhart, are here.

a pistol told the tale, and the volunteer
firemen, who so bravely in few minutes
later fought the terrible flames, were then
hurrying to the scene of destruction. The
lightning had struck the Camperdown
Cotton mills warehouse, which is long
frame building in the rear of the mills,
and the whole building and its contents
had flashed up as quickly as if it was
a powder magazine. In comparatively
short time six streams were playing on
the burning building, three streams from
the mill hydrant, and one from each of
the three companies. After several hours
of hard labor the fire was got under con-
troll. There were 1880 bales of cotton in
the warehouse, the value being about $65,
600. Five hundred of the bales had Just
been received from Georgia. Col. Ham
mitt who is president of the company, last
night, said that the insurance was about
S5S,000 on the burnt cotton. or this all
was in New England mutual companies.
The insurance will more than cover the
loss on the cotton, as there will be sal
wage of about 20 per cent. on it, as all the
bales had been compressed, and some
bales are only burned in few inches.
A large force of hands were set
to work to save as much of the cotton as
possible. and gocdly number of bales
have so far been saved.
The mills will probably be compelled to
shut down for week or so until more
cotton can be obtained.
Several small houses in the neighbor-
hood of the fire were badly scorched, but
they we're kept wet, and escaped with but
little damage. One of them was occupied
by Mr.. Bolt, whose wife had given birth
to child about half an hour before the
fire broke out A number of negroes
were called in, and the bedstead was re-
moved to a place of safety.

GREENvILLE, Ga, June 24.-The drouth

last night in rather boisterous manner.
At 10 O'Clock the stars were shining
brightly and the heavens presented an
appearance of eternal calm and quiet,
but in less than one half hour, not star

began to fall, and lit steadily. increased
until it was a hard, soaking down-pour.
Loud rumbling thunder was constantly
heard, and the flashes of lightning, which
we're, as yet, in their infancy, were
almost perpetual, but the loud
thunder and those child-like flashes
soon grew into roaring lion, the sharp,
Kissing lightning which was accom-
panied by terrible peals of thunder, which
shook the earth and buildings like an
earthquake, told of the terrible destruc-
ton which was being done in parts OF
the city. At about IL O'Clock
tree was literally torn to pieces
on McBee avenue; at 1890,
house in which some colored people were
living, on Factory hill, was struck, and
one corner of the house was torn off and
the occupants we're badly stunned, but not
seriously injured. At about 11:45 blind
ing flash set every telephone bell IN the
city to ringing, and almost before 1t was
gone there was a tremendous reVerpera-
ton of thunder, which raised those that
had not been awakened from their peace

three minutes after the fash the heavens
and the city were lighted by an ominous
glare. Six shots in rapid succession from

and at the first discharge two of the
guards fell dead, and four of them were
afoot, their horses being killed. They
then retreated and dispatched a
courier to Piedras Negras, and
once more attacked the determined little
band of contrabandists, this time with
more care and circumspection. Contrary
to their usual custom, the smugglers
would not abandon their goods and take
to their heels, but gathering up their
packed animals started them back
towards the Rio Grande, from which they
were distant about eight miles, keeping
up, in the meantime, desultory skirmish

to cross, and SO far no news
has been heard from them. Another
posse of five special inspectors is leaving
this place to go to their assistance. There
is some chance of nice little fight. A
guard came in to Piedras Negras about
midday and reported the fight going or
